Reviews
This book is both an excellent overview of the existing scholarship and an original contribution to knowledge of early political journalism. It shows Marshall's trademark erudition and attention to nuance and complexity, and it is written clearly enough to appeal to nonspecialists. Essential. * CHOICE * In her discussions of major authors (Swift, Defoe, and Steele), Marshall introduces a wealth of scholarship and endeavors to build upon and then thread between others' positions. * EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY INTELLIGENCER *
There is no question that Marshall's monograph finds itself affixed to an extensive historiographical lineage, with academic interest in early eighteenth-century British publishing going back decades. But due to its distinctive breadth of content, its novel approach to examining the broader influence of the relevant news writers, and its immensely accommodating bibliography, Political Journalism in London should receive consideration as the new standard-bearer of the field. -- H-NET REVIEWS This book is both an excellent overview of the existing scholarship and an original contribution to knowledge of early political journalism.
